Reunited with Mark Messier and helping to lead the New York Rangers to the Conference Finals, Wayne Gretzky would score a team-leading 20 postseason points in just 15 games in 1996-97, his first season in Manhattan with the Blueshirts and the final stop in his storied NHL career. Offered here, is this stick used by Gretzky during the 1996-97 season. An Easton Silver Tip model with "Gretzky" factory graphics over the shaft as well as "105 X-Stiff", the stick retains Wayne’s familiar “Jack the Gripper” over the handle/knob with it having become dried out over time and splitting up on one side. Sporting a blade that has been inserted into the shaft and has “Gretzky” stamped onto the stem, the tape has been removed to facilitate Wayne’s flowing black ink signature that displays without issue. A highly desirable twig, the stick shows game-use via chips to the graphics over the shaft and black puck and stick marks to various areas of the blade.
